The aim of this study is to gather information and evidence on contractual practices involving transfers of copyright and related rights and to assess the impacts of these practices on authors, performers and audiovisual producers. The study covers the following stakeholder groups: authors and performers from the audiovisual, music, visual arts, literary works and
videogames sectors; producers in the audiovisual sector. The study’s objectives are to: map contractual practices involving rights transfers affecting authors and performers in the creative sectors covered and assess the impacts of such practices on authors and performers (Chapter 3); assess the ability of producers to exploit and retain Intellectual Property (IP) rights in their contractual arrangements with broadcasters and/or streamers, building on the results of the European Media Industry Outlook (Chapter 4); map and analyse existing rules and legislation at international, EU and Member State levels applicable to contracts for the transfer of copyright and related rights, such as buy-outs (Chapter 5).
